Sri Lanka vs England, 2nd ODI, England tour of Sri Lanka 2026 - Player Highlights

Dawson to Kusal Mendis, out Kusal Mendis Run Out!! England are celebrating. They think they've got their man and Mendis is walking off too. Slightly short outside off, he cuts wide of backward point and sets off but Jacks makes a superb diving stop to his right. It creates a mix-up in the running with Mendis sent back from halfway down. He's well short of his crease despite a big dive. It wasn't just the diving stop, Jacks was quick to release the throw as well. Superb work. Kusal Mendis run out (Will Jacks/Buttler) 26(45) [4s-2]
